199: IFComp 2019 part 1

This is the 25th year of the competition (!!!) and there are a record breaking 82 entries! We’re kicking off our coverage of IFComp 2019 with discussion of the first 8 games we’ve played. Due to travel and other conflicts it’s just Raygan and Laura for this episode, but Shane and Nate will be back next week for our special 200th episode. After that we’ll be continuing our IFComp coverage with two more episodes. Be sure to let us know what games you’ve enjoyed in the comp so far! 00:01:10: What Is IFComp? 00:07:03: About Our IFComp Coverage 00:10:20: Zozzled by Steph Cherrywell 00:25:47: Turandot by Victor Gijsbers 00:34:54: Eye Contact by Thomas McMullan 00:38:12: Flight of the CodeMonkeys by Mark C Marino 00:44:33: Sugarlawn by Mike Spivey 00:52:37: Pas De Deux by Linus Åkesson 01:01:08: Let’s Play: Ancient Greek Punishment: The Text Adventure by Pippin Barr 01:06:09: Out by Viktor Sobol 01:09:23: What’s Making Us Happy This Week? 01:15:34: Outro The Short Game is supported directly by our listeners on Patreon!
